This is a beautiful story of how our lives are informed by those who came before us and so inform those who come after. We follow the story of generations of women through a tapestry from pre-partition India to present day America.
Full of love and heart ache and mistakes and consequences, this book captures so much of the complexity of being a woman at various stages of life. It also examines the ideas of legacy, birth right, inevitabilities, and how immense power is both a blessing and a curse.
